The New York Times Best Seller list is widely considered the preeminent list of best-selling books in the United States. Published weekly in The New York Times Book Review, the best-seller list has been published in the Times since October 12, 1931.

The Library.Link Network has published over 100+ TB of RDF machine readable data designed to help Libraries, Museums, Archives and
Historical Societies all over the world tell their story and connect to where their users are at - on the Web.

If HTML and the Web made all the online documents look like one huge book, RDF ... will make all the data in the world look like one huge database.

- Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web

RDF is at the core of W3C's Data Web. It is the standard specifically designed to provide a way to produce and consume data on the Web.
Exposing library data in an open and actionable manner frees this data from the applications that have traditionally managed it, allowing for new ways to integrate this with other web
content, visualize and explore, analyze, compare, and enable intelligent agents to carry out tasks on behalf of users in new and useful ways. And that is just the start.

The Library.Link FAQ is an evolving place to learn more about applications built using the Library's Linked Data.
